I am posting this for a friend of mine.
I am using a Steyr-Mannlicher Match LP 5 air pistol. There are two cylinders and three magazines. When it is loaded and fired, the noise is a soft "puff" and the pellet does not leave the gun. After firing, the gun does not automatically cock, I have to do it manually. With the Meisterkugeln pellets, they do not even leave the magazine. Using Copperhead pellets, they leave the magazine but do not leave the barrel. Both cylinders are fully charged. Can you suggest a solution? Thank you. Paul Harold

Thanks, John

assuming someone has not been playing with the various adjustments, what vinatage is this gun? sounds like it migh tbe one of those infamous white valves going bad.

In any event, it needs to go to someonne qualified to work on them such as us in the US, as the adjustments are complicated and the valve removal requires special tooling.

A minor adjustment, a Steyr qualified technician can fix that very quickly. Happened to me recently.
